Juan Guerra
EVP & President of International Business Group | Cencora
Juan Guerra is Executive Vice President and President of the International Business Group for Cencora, Inc. In this role, he leads Cencora’s global presence in more than 50 countries representing Alliance Healthcare, World Courier, and the 3PL network of Alloga and ICS. As a member of Cencora’s enterprise leadership team, Juan is committed to the continued growth of the company and its 46,000 team members worldwide.
Prior to being named President of the International Business Group in 2022, Juan joined the company in 2021 through the acquisition of Alliance Healthcare where he served as Managing Director. For six years, Juan led Alliance Healthcare in providing pharmaceutical wholesaling and healthcare services to pharmacists and pharmaceutical manufacturers across Europe and beyond. His vision and guidance proved to be crucial in developing the company’s high-performance teams that drove innovation and growth in highly-regulated and competitive markets.
Alliance Healthcare grew significantly under Juan’s leadership, including doubling its revenue from high-margin offerings through the expansion of its Alphega network of pharmacies from 3,000 to nearly 10,000 members; growing Alvita and Almus, private-label brands of consumer products and generics medicines; and the development of Alcura, a specialist in patient care and clinical trials solutions. Each of these strategic moves laid the foundation for Cencora’s milestone acquisition of Alliance Healthcare from Walgreens Boots Alliance in 2021.
Juan joined Alliance Healthcare as Regional Finance Director in 2012. Preceding Alliance Healthcare, Juan’s career spanned a range of roles across different industries, including positions at Applied Biosystems, Dako, G.E. Capital, and Authur Anderson.
He currently serves on the board of International Federation of Pharmaceutical Wholesalers (IFPW). Juan previously served on the board of the European Healthcare Distribution Association (GIRP).
